Abstract:
Disclosed is a rear plate of a plasma display panel. In the rear plate, barrier ribs are formed by etching a baked barrier rib layer, so that the completed barrier ribs have no deformation and the electrodes can be exactly located at central portions between the barrier ribs. In a PDP having a front plate to a rear plate attached to each other, the PDP shows improvements in both optical characteristics, such as average brightness, color temperature, and contrast, and electric characteristics, such as voltage margin, power consumption, and efficiency.
Abstract:
A method of driving a plasma display panel to improve display brightness and luminescent efficiency. In the sustain periods, the same driving signal is sent to the sustain electrode X as well as the address electrode Ai at the same time to achieve the desired volume discharge effect. In addition, the structure of PDPs is modified to raise firing voltages between these electrodes, preventing erasure of the data written in the address periods.
